Vrata: Ekadashi & Vrat Katha

Know exactly when to fast and when to break it, for your city and tradition. Plus the Vrat Katha stories, japa, and daily wisdom. Calm, private, no ads.

Family WhatsApp group says Ekadashi is Thursday. The calendar in the kitchen says Friday. Your cousin in another city swears it's Friday too, but for a different reason. Sound familiar?

Vrata settles it, for your city and your sampradaya, Smarta or Vaishnava, the moment you open the app. No more calling Amma to double-check, no more comparing three panchangs on three phones.

VRAT, SORTED

• The correct Ekadashi date and Parana time, for your city and your tradition
• The full year's Ekadashis and vrat-tyohaars, so you're never caught off guard
• Take a Sankalp, hold your vrat, mark it done
• Ranks and milestones as your practice grows

THE KATHA BEHIND THE VRAT

• All 26 Ekadashi Vrat Kathas, so you know the story, not just the date
• Ramayana and Mahabharata, told beginning to end
• Durga, Shiva, Ganesha, Radha-Krishna
• Bhagavatam, verse by verse, with narration for some kathas

FOR YOUR KIDS, WHEN THEY WON'T SIT THROUGH THE REAL THING Let's be honest, your child isn't reading the Ramayana cover to cover any time soon. So we did the next best thing: 39 short stories, retold simply and narrated in a warm voice, the kind you'd want to tell them yourself if you had the time. Perfect for bedtime, a car ride, or whenever they ask "who is Ganesha," and you want a better answer than "later, beta."

FOR EVERY DAY, NOT JUST EKADASHI

• A japa counter for your mantra, tap the bead or log your rounds
• One shloka a day, with what it actually means
• Sunrise, sunset, tithi, and hora, at a glance
• A gentle reminder the evening before, if you want one

WHEN YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER

• Gita and Bhagavatam, explained in plain language
• Who's who and what the Sanskrit means, so nothing gets lost in translation

THIRTEEN LANGUAGES English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Spanish, and Russian.

YOUR VRAT, YOUR PHONE, NOBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS No login. No ads. Nobody tracking what you read or how you pray. If you share your location, it's only to get your timings right, nothing else.

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.
